Summary Calendar

FELICIA NICOLE JONES,

Plaintiff-Appellant

v.

CITIMORTGAGE, INC.; PIONEER HOMES; PATRICK R. DONAHOE,

Postmaster General United States Postal Service,

Defendants-Appellees

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:11-MC-376

Before KING, JOLLY, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Felicia Nicole Jones has filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis (IFP) in this appeal of the district court’s dismissal with prejudice of

her pro se complaint. Jones also has filed a motion requesting a telephone

hearing. The district court dismissed her complaint on the ground that she did

not describe a claim recognized at law. We construe the district court’s dismissal

United States Court of Appeals

Fifth Circuit

F I L E D

April 20, 2012

Lyle W. Cayce

Clerk

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not *

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.

R. 47.5.4.

Case: 11-20643 Document: 00511828971 Page: 1 Date Filed: 04/20/2012
No. 11-20643

as a dismissal as frivolous and for failure to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii). 

Jones has failed to address the district court’s rationale for dismissing her

claims against Citimortgage, Inc., or her claims against Pioneer Homes.

Although we liberally construe pro se filings, Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519,

520-21 (1972), even pro se litigants must raise arguments in order to preserve

them, Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993). By failing to

discuss the district court’s rationale for dismissing these claims, Jones has

abandoned them. See Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813

F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Although Jones provides some discussion in her

brief regarding her claim against the United States Postal Service, Jones has

inadequately briefed this issue as well. See Yohey, 985 F.2d at 224-25;

Brinkmann, 813 F.2d at 748. 

Because Jones has failed to demonstrate that she will raise a nonfrivolous

issue on appeal, her motion for leave to proceed IFP is denied. See FED. R. APP.

P. 24(a); Carson v. Polley, 689 F.2d 562, 586 (5th Cir. 1982). Her motion

requesting a telephone hearing also is denied. The appeal is without arguable

merit, see Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983), and it is dismissed

as frivolous. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

MOTIONS DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED.

     Re: SEMCO Energy, Inc.

Gentlemen:

     I am General Counsel to SEMCO Energy, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the
"Company") and furnish this letter in connection with the proposed issuance and
sale by the Selling Shareholder of shares of outstanding Common Stock ("Common
Stock") of the Company. The Common Stock is described in a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") being filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

     Based upon my examination of such corporate records and other documents and
certificates as I deemed it necessary to examine, it is my opinion that:

          1. The Company is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the
     State of Michigan.

          2. The Common Stock being sold by the Selling Shareholder named in the
     Registration Statement is legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
     when sold, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement and to the use of my name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the related Prospectus.

                                          Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Levin: 

This is in response to your letter dated July 31, 2012, petitioning the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) on behalf of the Balloon Federation of America from an exemption 

from §§ 61.3(b) and 91.27 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). 

The FAA understands that you were able to participate in the 20th FAI World Hot Air Balloon 

Championship and an exemption is no longer needed. 

The FAA will take no further action on your petition and Docket No. FAA-2012-0823 is 

being closed. 

Sincerely, 

/s/ 

John M. Allen
